PHOTOGRAPHY / GREAT YARMOUTH
Great Yarmouth's economy runs on several engines at once: the port and the offshore energy firms around South Denes and the outer harbour, the hotels, holiday parks and attractions along the seafront, and the offices, schools, care providers and family businesses in the town, Gorleston and the villages towards the Broads. We take the photographs those organisations use to win work, recruit people and bring visitors in.

PHOTOGRAPHS WITH A PURPOSE
An engineering contractor needs a consistent set of headshots for a bid. A holiday park wants new images of its lodges and facilities before bookings open. A charity in Gorleston needs photographs of an open day for its annual report. In Great Yarmouth the right timing matters – crew rotations, the summer rush, or the quiet months when a venue can be photographed empty – so we plan the date around it.
We have not yet published a photography commission from Great Yarmouth. Our nearest documented work is video: a full day at Southwold Maize Maze in Reydon, a music video in Norwich, festival coverage for Jellyshotz that included Foodies Festival Norwich, and films on working Norfolk farms for Sentry. The photographs on this page come from other jobs, and each one is labelled with the client and where it was taken.

↗HEADSHOTS FOR TEAMS AND CREWS
These Hive Kids staff portraits were taken in Stowmarket with one background and one lighting set-up for everyone. For a Great Yarmouth office, workshop or port-side site we do the same in a meeting room or by a large window, so headshots line up on your website, LinkedIn and bid documents.
Teams that work rotations or shifts rarely all appear on one day. We note the settings and can photograph late arrivals on a second visit so the set still matches.

STAFF PARTY / IPSWICH
At Platinum Cleaning's summer party we photographed and filmed for two hours, catching the group shot, the food and the conversations without interrupting anyone's afternoon. The team received 300 edited photographs and a short film.
The party took place in Ipswich, not Great Yarmouth. The same approach works for a staff day, a charity fundraiser or an awards evening at a seafront hotel or on your own premises.

We confirm a shot list, timings, parking, any induction or PPE and a space for headshots, and fit the visit around shifts or opening hours.
Edited photographs with sensible file names, sized for screen and print, with any agreed retouching – and a handful of early picks if you need them quickly.

View rates and the photography estimator ↗GREAT YARMOUTH / ON LOCATION
Quotes are based on the hours we photograph, the number of people or locations and any detailed retouching. Travel is worked out from our base in Great Cornard, Sudbury: Great Yarmouth is roughly 70 to 85 driving miles away depending on the route, so there is no mileage charge and the estimated return driving time is billed at £49 per hour, rounded to the nearest 15 minutes.
We cover Great Yarmouth town centre, the seafront and South Denes, Gorleston-on-Sea, Bradwell, Caister-on-Sea, Hemsby, Martham, Ormesby, Acle and the Broads villages in between. Send us the address and what you need photographed.
Within 25 driving miles of the quoted base, travel is £0.55 per round-trip mile. Beyond that, mileage is waived and estimated round-trip driving time is charged at £49 per hour. Parking, tolls and other necessary travel costs are agreed separately.
PLANNING YOUR SHOOT
Not on a published photography job yet. Our nearest documented work is video: Southwold Maize Maze in Reydon, about 23 miles south, a music video at Cecilia's Cocktail Bar in Norwich, Foodies Festival Norwich for Jellyshotz, and films on working Norfolk farms for Sentry. The photographs on this page were taken in London, Stowmarket and Ipswich, and each is labelled.
Yes. We set up a portable backdrop and lighting at your premises, spend a few minutes with each person and check the frames together. Anyone offshore or on another shift that day can be photographed later with the same settings so the set still matches.
Yes. We complete any site induction, wear the PPE you require and agree in advance what must stay out of shot. Our published energy-site experience is video: two visits to the Root-Power Coryton battery storage site in Corringham, Essex, where we also flew a drone.
Yes. We photograph rooms, facilities, grounds and exteriors in good light, and people enjoying the place when guests or staff are happy to appear. Our published property photography is from Cavendish and Ipswich in Suffolk, for Edd Callegari.
Yes. For Platinum Cleaning's summer party in Ipswich we covered two hours and delivered 300 edited photographs and a short film. We agree the must-have moments first, such as the group shot or the presentations, and capture the rest naturally.
Yes. For Jellyshotz we have produced more than 200 product photographs across 30 flavours. For a café, restaurant or local producer we plan the dishes or products in advance so one visit covers the whole list.
Photography starts at £249 for the first hour per photographer and £99 for each additional hour, with standard event processing included and detailed retouching at £49 per hour where agreed. Great Yarmouth is more than 25 driving miles from our base, so we charge estimated return driving time at £49 per hour instead of mileage. No VAT is currently added.
Yes. Photographs and video at the same time normally needs a photographer and a videographer, each at the standard operator rate. For films, see our Great Yarmouth video production page.
